Deja-vu.  NOMAIL is not out of scope in SSP and you need to STOP saying 
it.   The CONFUSING VOTE that was taking - I still don't now show what 
it meant but it was not what it would to be removed from SSP!

I don't see how SSP violates this principle.

Oy vey! So then it is not out of scope as you said.

Well, I would like to know who proposed this lame rule that it should be 
out of scope when it wasn't and was clearly part of all the sepcs - SSP 
and DSAP specs.

If people voted under the disquise of a general "NO MAIL" concept across 
the board, well, it is clear now this is not what they voted for because 
you are making provisions for it.

I don't understand why is so secret. I don't want a NO-MAIL DKIM policy 
to be dependent on a KLUDGED MX concept or  LMAP support.
